Twitter Rips Dole Sunshine For Their Unusual Take On A ‘Jerk Chicken’ Recipe

It’s 2018, and consumers now DEMAND regional authenticity in their food. So if you’re gonna post something like, say, a Jamaican jerk chicken recipe, you better come correct. AKA, don’t do what Dole Sunshine just did to Jamaica’s iconic dish.

Dole’s packaged foods division recently posted their take on “Caribbean Style Jerk Chicken” that has the internet either horrified or laughing. The recipe, which features ingredients like pineapple juice, golden raisins, and bananas, was a far cry from how the dish is traditionally made. Everything from allspice to spicy Scotch bonnets peppers, and even salt was missing.

In light of the desecration of this traditional dish, the Internet banded together to call Dole out with a generous pinch of savagery.

Popular cultural blogger The Love Life of an Asian Guy also shared the recipe to his Facebook page, where the brutality of the responses only intensified.

None was as gut-busting, however, as this Twitter user’s incorporation of Chadwick Boseman on SNL.

Dole has since responded to the travesty, saying they are working with the Sunshine team to “correct the recipe.” Hopefully, the next version at least includes some salt.

UPDATE (June 1st, 2018): Dole Sunshine has since removed the “jerk chicken” recipe from their website.
